Cardiff set to tackle SUV 'carspreading' in UK first
Cardiff Council is set to become the first local authority in the UK to introduce higher parking charges for SUVs and other heavy vehicles, in a move campaigners say will make city streets safer and fairer. Councillors will vote today (Thursday, 16 October) on the city’s new Parking Plan, which proposes a surcharge for vehicles […]
Varbergsalliansen har upphöjt bilen till gud och vill prioritera den i stället för oskyddade trafikanter. Det strider mot både forskning och hur styrande i andra städer resonerar.
Här är cykelstaden i Europa – som slår Linköping med hästlängder
Linköping ska bli Europas bästa cykelstad. Det ambitiösa målet har satts upp av stadens politiker.Hur går det då? Vi åker till staden som brukar kallas "Världens bästa cykelstad" för att jämföra – och vi slås av häpnad.

Svenska cykelorganisationer: Sluta behandla cyklister som andra klassens trafikanter - Altinget
I stället för att planera cykelvägar utifrån cyklisternas behov, sker anpassningen i efterhand, när vägar för biltrafiken redan är färdiga. Det skriver företrädare för Svensk Cykling, Cykelbranschen, Cykelfrämjandet och Svenska Cykelstäder.

Further, steeper, greener: Implications from an electric bicycle mode choice model
This study examines electric bicycle mode choice and which modes they replace. It employs a trip-level nested logit mode choice model with six alternatives, including conventional and electric bicycles.
I flera års tid har frågan om vilken väg cyklister ska ta mellan Brösarp och Ravlunda utretts och diskuterats. På Trafikverket pågår just nu en stor utredning som eventuellt blir klar i år.
Lastbilarnas högersvängar skapar otrygghet i Stockholmstrafiken. De borgerliga politikerna behöver ta cykelsäkerheten på allvar om det ska bli ett maktskifte i Stockholms stadshus 2026. Det skriver Hannah Stutzinsky.
The research from the Social Market Foundation (SMF) think tank, based on data from the Department for Transport, found a correlation between car dependency and loneliness across all regions, most acutely seen in rural towns. It was the least impactful in cities, where people had access to more reliable transport alternatives.
Do sports utility vehicles (SUVs) and light truck vehicles (LTVs) cause more severe injuries to pedestrians and cyclists than passenger cars in the case of a crash? A systematic review and meta-analysis
Questions In the case of a road traffic crash, do sports utility vehicles (SUVs) and light truck vehicles (LTVs) cause more severe injuries to pedestrians and cyclists than passenger cars? Does any effect differ between adults and children?
Design Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Data sources MEDLINE, TRID and Global Index Medicus were searched up to September 2024, with no restrictions by setting or language.
Inclusion criteria Eligible studies had to compare injury severity between pedestrians and/or cyclists hit by an SUV or LTV versus a passenger car. Only sources using real-world crash data were included.
Main outcome measure Injury severity, defined either as ‘fatal versus non-fatal injury’ or as ‘killed or seriously injured (KSI) versus slight injury’.
Results 24 studies were included in the meta-analysis. The results were similar between pedestrians and cyclists. When combining pedestrians and cyclists, the pooled odds of KSI versus slight injury if hit by an SUV/LTV versus a passenger car were higher among adults/all-age samples by 1.24 (95% CI 1.15, 1.34) and higher among children by 1.28 (95% CI 1.19, 1.37). The odds of fatal versus non-fatal injury if hit by an SUV/LTV versus a passenger car increased among adults/all-age samples by 1.44 (95% CI 1.33, 1.56) and among children by 1.82 (95% CI 1.57, 2.11; p=0.006 for heterogeneity by age).
Conclusion In the case of a crash, SUVs and LTVs cause more severe injuries to pedestrians and cyclists than passenger cars. This effect is larger for fatalities than for KSIs, and the fatality effect is particularly large for children.

Store skærme forstyrrer vores fokus i bilen: 'Det giver sådan et ubehageligt sug i maven'
Og to procent af de interviewede svarer, at de rent faktisk har prøvet at køre galt på grund af touchskærmen. Samtidig svarer fem procent, at de har været tæt på at køre galt.
Minskningen gäller de skyddade trafikanterna, det vill säga de som kör eller åker privatbil, lastbil eller buss.
Däremot dog fler oskyddade trafikanter, det vill säga cyklister, fotgängare och motorcyklister. Att allt färre dör i trafiken förklaras av fler mitträcken, fler fartkameror och fler nya och säkrare fordon.
The link between low-stress bicycle facilities and bicycle commuting
Bicycling offers a range of benefits for urban commuters, but the facilities that best facilitate bicycle lane use are still unclear. Using data from 28 US cities, this study found that bicycle lanes and similar low-stress facilities increase ridership markedly.
